A New or relocating operation

Selecting a new third-party logistics provider (3PL)

Your company is considering replacing your current 3PL provider, or selecting a 3PL provider for a new operation.

Building a new facility

How We Can Help

Location and site selection

Cushman & Wakefield is an industry leader in identifying the most favorable location for new businesses, or relocating manufacturing and distribution operations. Analytical terrains include utilities cost and infrastructure, environmental risks, transportation costs and access, labor costs and availability, and real estate availability.

Workforce modeling

Applying our extensive understanding of manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as your company’s particular job skill requirements, our team analyzes local workforces to ensure that your company will be able to scale and sustain new manufacturing or distribution operations. We can also help your company understand the tradeoffs between labor costs, labor availability, and other important site selection criteria.

An Integrated approach

Our services are often executed concurrently to optimize all outcomes, from design to implementation. We avoid the common mistake of disconnecting operational and financial drivers from real estate implementation.
